Beds

Does anyone know if it possible to buy a mattress for a double bed out in NZ? When I packed up my house over a year ago I got rid of the mattress (old & saggy!) & didn't buy a new one. Am I going to be sleeping on slats when it arrives?

Yes, though it maybe stuffed with straw and dead beetles as they haven't quite got round to inventing the spring over here yet ;)

Re: Beds

You can get them (I recomended a bed retailer on anoter thread recently) but it'll take two weeks to get if they don't have them in stock.
